0xc0000005 Error: Solutions and Fixes

Configuring DEP Exceptions

DEP Exceptions

Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature introduced in Windows XP SP2 that
monitors proper usage of system memory and prevents execution of malicious programs installed on your computer.
The error with 0xc0000005 code informs you that DEP trapped
an attempt to run a suspicious application.

Configuring DEP Exceptions can be necessary when DEP won’t let you run one of your programs while you know
for sure that the software is legitimate and won’t do any harm to your computer.
However, before defining DEP exceptions it’s a good idea to check for a DEP-compatible version of the program
on the developer’s website.
